I went to a party, Mom
And remebered what you said,
You told me not to drink, Mom
So I had sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive
Although my friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice
Your advice to me was right,
As the party finally ended
And the kids drove out of sight
I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one peice,
I never knew what was coming, Mom
Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the police man say;
'The kid that caused the crash was drunk.'
Mom, his voice seems far away.
My own blood's all around me,
As I try hard not to cry,
I can hear the paramedic say;
' The girl is going to die.'
I'm sure the guy had no idea
While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.
So why do people do it, Mom?
Knowing it ruins lives,
And now the pain is cutting me
Like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell sister not to be frightened, Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven,
Put 'Daddy's Girl' on my grave.
Someone should have told him,
That it is wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
Then I would be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that I could hold you, Mom
As I lie here and die,
I wish I could say 'I Love You Mom'
So I love you and goodbye.
